2.7i Teaser pics

I was cleaning the garage today and moving parts around and decided to bolt to gether some of the things for my 2.7i engine. I still need pistons, and all bearings and gaskets but have everything else.






Oh and my custom built Multi throttle intake is also mounted, it needs a little more work to it but It's about half way done.
And in case any one asks the specs will be
Eta block, Eta crank, Eta rods, pre 85 525e high cr ratio pistons, ported 325i head, 10:1 cr ratio and should have 205hp at the crank. 8)

:shock:Wow im really loving the custom multi throttle intake system. I remember seeing posts of it while you were first making it, and everyone was bashin you on it. I wanna be the first to say it Looks awsome dude, goodluck

That's badass, when do you expect to complete the 2.7?

Ya well the first one was a sort of hack job, this one is a complete redesign. Using a cut up intake manifold, some cut up 40mm side draft carbs. Then the throttle butterflies from the carbs are mounted to the intake runners using some rubber connectors. I'm still going to run into some Brake booster clearence, but all i need is a 320i brake booster like the m50 guys use and I'll be all clear. I'm working on making the plenum and have to buy some more plastic and do a little bit of cutting and it will be done.

It will be complete when ever I have a spair $600 laying around for bearings, gaskets, and bolts.

[rs4pro3]

Nope just paint, I really need to repaint is as I didn't prep the block very well.

Thanks Ryan, it's crazy it looks so nice but I'm still going to the junkyard tommorow to find a m30. I enjoy the project more then I do the results
